Cozzens, Frederick Schiller
Frederick Schiller Cozzens (October 11, 1846 - August 28, 1928) was an American marine artist and yachtsman active in the late 19th and early 20th century. Cozzens was born in New York City, the son of the humorist Frederick Swartwout Cozzens (1818 - 1869). From 1864 to 1867, he studied at Rensselaer Polytechnic in Troy, New York, but did not attain a degree. Cozzens is best known for his marine paintings, but also worked as a freelance illustrator for The Daily Graphic, Harpers Weekly, and Our Navy, among other publications. He also worked with James Douglas Jerrold Kelley to issue the chromolithograph prints for the 1884 American Yachts: Their Clubs and Races.

This scarce 1884 chromolithograph by maritime artist Frederick S. Cozzens presents a compendium of American yacht signals on the eve of the pivotal 1885 America's Cup. Centered on the graceful sailing yacht Yolande and surrounded by brilliantly colored code, yacht-club, and night-signal flags, the chart captures the pageantry and technical sophistication of Gilded Age yachting as American sailors prepared to defend the Cup against Britain's Genesta.
